Internet Famous (2016) “An assured, culturally observant piece of contemporary satire.” – Guardian Feb 1, 2020 Full Review XOXO (2016) 71% “Saturated in neon, gratifyingly loud, and a wonderful showcase for charismatic supporting actor Brett DelBuono, you can certainly imagine XOXO finding an audience with the post-SpongeBob, pre-Orange Is The New Black demographic.” – Guardian Sep 19, 2016 Full Review The Selfish Giant (2013) 98% “Though they share the same title, director Clio Barnard's bewitching follow-up to The Arbor bears little cosmetic similarity to the fluorescent idyll of Oscar Wilde's 19th century children's fable.” – Little White Lies Aug 18, 2015 Full Review Serena (2014) 17% “This is a film full of unremarkable compromises - the kind that result in a bland film rather than a bad one.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Oct 13, 2014 Full Review Prince Avalanche (2013) 82% “Flashes of oddball invention can't quite lift Prince Avalanche out of its own meandering fog.” – Film4 Oct 18, 2013 Full Review Seduced and Abandoned (2013) 84% “If Toback and Baldwin set out to prove that nobody is making good movies any more, then this utterly inept piece of filmmaking should prove just the ticket.” – Ultra Culture Jul 8, 2013 Full Review Stranger by the Lake (2013) 94% “An erotic-drama-cum-murder-mystery - where the operative word is unquestionably 'cum'.” – Ultra Culture Jul 8, 2013 Full Review Nebraska (2013) 90% “A tangle of film school clichés, rampant condescension and woe-is-me, middle-aged-white-guy-problems so juvenile it would blot even a first-time filmmaker's copybook.” – Ultra Culture Jul 8, 2013 Full Review Pussy Riot - A Punk Prayer (2013) 83% “Reveals little more than the order of events, which have already been succinctly detailed in forms that take considerably less than 86 minutes to process.” – Ultra Culture Jul 8, 2013 Full Review Stories We Tell (2012) 94% “Perhaps the most organic, transformative meeting of form and function I've seen this year.” – Ultra Culture Jul 8, 2013 Full Review Blackfish (2013) 98% “The film appears to have been spat out of the same auto-outrage documentary generator that gave us The Cove and Bully.” – Ultra Culture Jul 8, 2013 Full Review Nine Dead (2010) “It's a fairly transparent attempt by Hart to shake off her Nickelodeon past, climaxing in a visceral flashback sequence in which she beats a rapist to death with a baseball bat.” – Ultra Culture Jul 8, 2013 Full Review Pacific Rim (2013) 72% “Glorified Power Rangers specials don't need to unfold over 131 endless minutes.” – Ultra Culture Jul 8, 2013 Full Review Spring Breakers (2012) 68% “In appearing to embrace the mainstream, erstwhile enfant terrible Harmony Korine orchestrates one of his most provocative, formally experimental films to date.” – Film4 Apr 3, 2013 Full Review Robot & Frank (2012) 87% “An ageing Frank Langella and a disembodied Peter Sarsgaard make for an unexpectedly dynamic double act in this refreshingly unsentimental geriatric drama. Robust and frank.” – Film4 Mar 4, 2013 Full Review Run for Your Wife (2013) 0% “It's hard to believe that the play could have warranted a 9-year theatrical run in 1983. I guess the past really is a foreign country. One populated exclusively by toddlers.” – Ultra Culture Feb 19, 2013 Full Review V/H/S (2012) 56% 4/5 “Spectacular hits and forgivable misses make this a surefire candidate for cult status.” – Little White Lies Jan 17, 2013 Full Review The Sessions (2012) 91% “For the most part, an authentically subversion take on fringe sexuality.” – Ultra Culture Jan 7, 2013 Full Review Lincoln (2012) 89% “Even as a historical figure considerably better known than any he's played before, there's no trace of impersonation in Lewis's performance.” – Ultra Culture Jan 7, 2013 Full Review Les Misérables (2012) 70% “A good example of a movie that contains a single scene of such unfathomable cinematic perfection that to dwell on its various failings seems cruel and unusual.” – Ultra Culture Jan 7, 2013 Full Review The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) 64% “It's the behaviour of the supposedly affable dwarves that makes this particular 'adventure' such a punishing experience.” – Ultra Culture Jan 7, 2013 Full Review The Dictator (2012) 57% “The film's writers understand that satire is infinitely more powerful when it's accessible” – Ultra Culture Dec 26, 2012 Full Review Laurence Anyways (2012) 84% 4/5 “Dolan seals the deal. But only just.” – Little White Lies Nov 29, 2012 Full Review End of Watch (2012) 85% “End of Watch's found footage pretensions tend to materialise when it has too few ideas.” – Ultra Culture Nov 10, 2012 Full Review Frankenweenie (2012) 87% “Maintains the legitimately dark tone of the original short while expanding the narrative in a pleasingly Scissorhands-esque direction.” – Ultra Culture Nov 10, 2012 Full Review
